RE: How cold is too cold?

Andrew, this is Edd in Denver.

My basement is also pretty cold, especially in summer(!) when the AC is
running full blast. I struggled with this for 10 years, trying to
maintain killies that preferred cold. Most survive well, even becoming
longer-lived to some extent. BUT, rarely did the produce lots of eggs.

I gave in and put heaters in all my tanks a couple years back. The 50
watters do fine in my 5 gallon tanks. Now I see lots more breeding
activity. I'd say go with some decent heaters and pick lots of eggs.
